In case you or anyone else is still interested:

Pretty simple. You need to download ffmpeg.exe.
The download here is an HTA utility that uses ffmpeg.
On 32-bit Windows there's also an option to drop
files into the window. It calls ffmpeg to extract tags
and loads up to 9 that ffmpeg writes to a file. Then
the utility can be used to add/edit/remove any of the
tags. It rewrites the file and tells ffmpeg to load it.

That's it. Most of it is ffmpeg. The utility is just an
HTA that makes the job simple, automating the
command line and the parsing/editing of the tags
file. There are links included to get ffmpeg for
XP/32-bit or Win64.

I actually stopped using VLC on my WinXP system.
It supposedly supports XP but later versions started
acting funky. I found Media Player Classic and find
that's very solid, even though the last version wwas more
than 3 years ago.
